To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
As a matter of form some sheets of paper, with a list of the prisoners' names, and a little bottle of ink to- gether with a few pens that were never used, lay upon the table. Outside the gate, which led from this room into the courtyard or the street, stood the assassins in a double row, armed with sabres, pikes, and bludgeons. If it was at the Abbaye, the victim was led to death out- side on the President exclaiming, " Conduct this DEATH OF THE PRINCESS DE LAMBALLB. 247 man to La Force !" or, ...if it was at La Force, the term used was, " Take him to the Abbaye !" he was then led out and massacred.
In a few remarkable instances a prisoner was allowed to go free ; then the President made some other sign and the sans-culottes shouted " Vive la Nation !" Some of them insisted upon taking the liberated prisoner home to witness his reception by his family ; after which they returned to their bloody work. Saturday, Sunday and Monday, the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd of September, 1792, the massacres continued in Paris, day and night, equalling in horrors all that was done on the same gigantic scale in the other French towns, and anything that we have on any previous occasion on record in history.
